Morphology

saggy = sag (transparent) = sag + y

Formed by adding the productive adjective-forming suffix '-y' to the verb 'sag', yielding 'characterized by sagging', a meaning directly inferable from the base.

Etymology

Saggy comes from the simple verb sag, which meant 'to sink' or 'hang down'. The ending -y means 'full of' or 'having the quality of', so saggy describes something that has 'sag'—it hangs down loosely or has lost its shape.
